Whatever I'm working on at the moment, or pisses me off. Sometimes the same thing.

Wireless (3G) modem antenna

Living in the middle of nowhere, I count myself lucky to get mobile wireless as opposed to god-awful satellite internet. I bought a travel antenna (the Mighty Max) off eBay from Sunsun for the Verizon UB760/Sprint U760 EV-DO USB Modem, and it works great. It's tiny, about 3 inches high. The picture makes it looks like it's a foot tall. But I jumped from 2 bars to 3, sometimes a full 4 bars as soon as I plugged in. Definitely recommend. If you're looking for 3G internet, check out Millenicom for no contract service. Very happy with them for the last year, too, though I may have to switch soon as they don't offer unlimited internet to my location and I'm really jonesing to enter the 21st century.
